While doing my weekly checks for updates, I found I can upgrade to 12.10. So instead of running package updates, I clicked Upgrade.
After the upgrade was done I was asked to reboot. I Clicked OK.
On start up, I saw a message briefly saying something about unable to mount drive that holds /tmp. However, there is just one drive.
I was still looking at the options I have like pressing m for manual, and missed the other option(s), then the screen went blank.
Now If I boot up again, it skips the message, screen goes blank after the Ubuntu logo appears during boot-up.
I have no access. ctrl&alt F1 - F12 does nothing. No other consoles available, so cannot investigate. Also it does not seem to use lilo, so I have no idea how to bypass X, and go straight to single user mode.
Any help?
